<div>This self-paced course is a good introduction to Spanish for those who have never studied it before, or a good supplemental program for students who may be struggling in their school Spanish class, or a good refresher course for people who would like to brush up on Spanish after years of not having studied it. &nbsp;While there are many aspects of learning a language, this course focuses almost exclusively on Spanish grammar. &nbsp;If you would like to take a more well-rounded approach to learning Spanish, including cultural notes, pictures from the Spanish-speaking world, reading and listening practice, and more,&nbsp;<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/espanol-i/id581002884?mt=13" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/espanol-i/id581002884?mt=13">click here for David Nance's Spanish textbook</a>, available free for the iPad.</div>

<div>What do your dreams mean? Do men and women differ in the nature and intensity of their sexual desires? Can apes learn sign language? Why can’t we tickle ourselves? This course tries to answer these questions and many others, providing a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought and behavior. It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, religion, persuasion, love, lust, hunger, art, fiction, and dreams.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>We will look at how these aspects of the mind develop in children, how they differ across people, how they are wired-up in the brain, and how they break down due to illness and injury.</div>

<div>Welcome and thank you for joining me as you begin your journey into the fascinating world of human anatomy and physiology! <br><br><b>A-Plus Anatomy: The Life of a Cell</b> is the first in a series of courses designed for first-year college students who are interested in pursuing careers in the health sciences. This course can be used to supplement introductory courses in the life sciences, including human anatomy and physiology and general biology. The course is organized into four units: basic organization of the human body, functional biochemistry, cell biology, and histology. A multi-touch textbook to accompany this course will be available in Fall 2017.<br><br>You are encouraged to work on this course at your own pace, spending as much time on each unit as you feel is necessary. There are four self-assessments (unit tests) and four creative projects that you will complete to assess your understanding of key concepts. After you've finished each unit, take the self-assessment test and check your answers with the included answer keys. No self-assessments or creative projects should be sent to Professor Swatski.<br><br><b>You will NOT receive any college credit from taking this course in iTunes U.

<div><div>Justice is one of the most popular courses in Harvard's history. Nearly one thousand students pack Harvard's historic Sanders Theatre to hear Professor Sandel talk about justice, equality, democracy, and citizenship. Now it's your turn to take the same journey in moral reflection that has captivated more than 14,000 students, as Harvard opens its classroom to the world.</div><div><br></div><div>This course aims to help viewers become more critically minded thinkers about the moral decisions we all face in our everyday lives.</div><div><br></div><div>Over 12 weeks of lectures, Sandel challenges us with difficult moral dilemmas and asks our opinion about the right thing to do. He then asks us to examine our answers in the light of new scenarios. The result is often surprising, revealing that important moral questions are never black and white.</div></div>

<div><div>This course introduces students to a diverse array of theoretical and empirical issues related to the study of human emotion. Some questions the course will address include: What are our emotions? What purpose do they serve? How do emotions relate to our thoughts, memories, and behaviors towards others? What happens when our emotional responses go awry? Although these questions date back to early philosophical texts, only recently have experimental psychologists begun to explore this vast and exciting domain of study. The course will begin by discussing the evolutionary origins of distinct emotions such as love, anger, fear, and disgust. We will ask how emotions might color our cognitive processes such as thinking and memory, the relationship between emotions and the brain, development of emotions in childhood, and how emotions shape our social relationships. We will also consider how these methods can be applied to studying mental illness in both children and adults. We conclude by studying the pursuit of happiness and well-being, trying to understand what makes us happy.</div><div>This course is part of a broader educational mission to share the study of human emotion beyond the boundaries of the classroom in order to reach students and teachers alike, both locally and globally, through the use of technology.&nbsp;</div><div>This mission is generously supported by, and in collaboration with, the Yale Office of Digital Dissemination and the Yale College Dean's Office. This series was recorded and produced by Douglas Forbush, Lucas Swineford, and the Yale Broadcasting and Media Center.</div></div>
